The Cerritos Library is joining with libraries nationwide in September to remind parents and students that signing up for a library card is the first step towards academic achievement and lifelong learning.

The Cerritos Library offers a collection of the latest fiction and non-fiction books, Blu-ray discs, audiobooks, and music CDs. Cerritos Library cardholders also have free access to digital media services offering e-books, e-audiobooks, comics, music, TV shows and movies. Cerritos Library also provides access to subscription databases covering topics such as investing, language instruction, genealogy, and reference for school projects. As an added convenience, many of the databases can be accessed remotely by cardholders. Additional benefits for cardholders include private study rooms available by reservation and high-speed Wi-Fi access within the library and Cerritos Civic Center during operating hours.

Cerritos residents and people who work in the City are eligible to obtain a free Cerritos Library card. People who attend school in Cerritos, work for the ABC Unified School District or are an employee or student at Cerritos College or attend any ABC Unified School District school or Bellflower Unified School District school also qualify for a free library card. Consideration has also been given to active duty military personnel who are permanent or temporary residents of California. Information about how to obtain a Cerritos Library card is available on the library’s website.
